Insurance coverage in India

Most retail health policies in India still exclude infertility under the standardised IRDAI exclusion clause. A small but growing set of products offer cover as a built-in benefit or rider, usually with a 24–48 month waiting period and a sub-limit. We list every IRDAI-registered insurer we've reviewed below — verify the latest brochure with the insurer before relying on this.

Financing your treatment

A rough EMI estimate based on the midpoint of your cost range. Most fertility clinics in India partner with no-cost or low-interest EMI providers (Bajaj Finserv, Tata Capital, HDFC, BharatPe, MediBuddy, SaveIN). Personal-loan rates typically run 11–16% p.a.

Principal (midpoint estimate)₹2,45,000
Monthly EMI₹11,705
Total interest₹35,929
Total payable₹2,80,929

Tax savings — Section 80D (health insurance premium)

Important: Indian income-tax law does not currently allow a direct deduction for IVF expenses (Section 80DDB covers a fixed list of specified diseases that does not include infertility). What you CAN claim is the health-insurance premium under Section 80D — relevant if your policy covers fertility treatment.

Capped at ₹25,000.

Capped at ₹25,000 (₹50,000 if parents are senior citizens).
